Summary

The Guardian announced it will stop posting from its main editorial accounts on X, citing the platform’s “toxic” environment and Elon Musk’s influence in shaping political discourse, particularly around the recent U.S. election.

The British newspaper expressed concerns over increasing far-right content and disinformation on X, which it says Musk has enabled.

Although articles can still be shared by users, The Guardian intends to focus on promoting its journalism through other platforms, noting that X now plays a “diminished role” in its outreach efforts.

Does Mastadon have customizable/sharable feeds?

I'm not sure what you mean. There is a list feature much like the one that existed on Twitter, but since I don't use it, I don't know if you can share lists.

Edit: I tried the List feature and it does not work like on Twitter (at least the way I remember it): it only can only contain users you already follow and is private. It acts more like a feed with only a subset of your follows.

Oh no, but it's a neat feature, I wish Mastodon had it!

It's a killer feature imo but microblog services in general aren't really my thing

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
